AUSTIN, Texas -- Four people have been injured across 10 shootings in Austin, Texas overnight, authorities say, with two suspects now in custody and one still at large.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said multiple shootings happened across the city, primarily in south Austin, starting on Saturday night and going into Sunday. Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis confirmed there were 10 shootings in total.

Officials said four people were shot, with one person seriously injured.

Investigators said there is no motive and that the shootings "appear to be random." Officials said the suspect vehicles involved include a black or blue Hyundai, a gold Hyundai, a silver Mazda, and a white Kia Optima. Officials said the suspects appeared to have been changing cars during the incidents.

Police said the suspects have been identified as Hispanic men in their late teens. In an update on Sunday afternoon, police said two suspects are in custody while one remains at large in the Manor area.



Officials initially advised south Austin residents to shelter in place. In a post on social media on Sunday afternoon, police said the shelter-in-place order was lifted.

City officials advised citizens to remain vigilant and call 911 if they notice anything suspicious. Authorities also reminded the public not to leave their cars unlocked and not to leave keys in their vehicles.
